28ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 28
1ἔστιν γὰρ ἀργυρίῳ τόπος, ὅθεν γίνεται,
τόπος δὲ χρυσίῳ, ὅθεν διηθεῖται.
 For there is a place for the silver, whence it comes,
and a place for the gold, whence it is refined.
In praise of Wisdom. Jb.28.1-28"Surely there is a mine for silver,
and a place for gold which they refine.
כִּי יֵשׁ לַכֶּסֶף מֹוצָא וּמָקֹום לַזָּהָב יָזֹקּוּ׃ 1
2σίδηρος μὲν γὰρ ἐκ γῆς γίνεται,
χαλκὸς δὲ ἴσα λίθῳ λατομεῖται.
 For iron comes out of the earth,
and brass is hewn out like stone.
 Iron is taken out of the earth,
and copper is smelted from the ore.
בַּרְזֶל מֵעָפָר יֻקָּח וְאֶבֶן יָצוּק נְחוּשָׁה׃ 2
3τάξιν ἔθετο σκότει, καὶ πᾶν πέρας αὐτὸς ἐξακριβάζεται·
λίθος σκοτία καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου,
 He has set a bound to darkness, and he searches out every limit:
a stone [is] darkness, and the shadow of death.
 Men put an end to darkness,
and search out to the farthest bound the ore in gloom and deep darkness.
קֵץ שָׂם לַחֹשֶׁךְ וּלְכָל־תַּכְלִית הוּא חֹוקֵר אֶבֶן אֹפֶל וְצַלְמָוֶת׃ 3
4διακοπὴ χειμάρρου ἀπὸ κονίας·
οἱ δὲ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι ὁδὸν δικαίαν ἠσθένησαν ἐκ βροτῶν.
 There is a cutting off the torrent by reason of dust:
so they that forget the right way are weakened;
they are removed from [among] men.
 They open shafts in a valley away from where men live;
they are forgotten by travelers,
they hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.
פָּרַץ נַחַל מֵעִם־גָּר הַנִּשְׁכָּחִים מִנִּי־רָגֶל דַּלּוּ מֵאֱנֹושׁ נָעוּ׃ 4
5γῆ, ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται ἄρτος,
ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς ἐστράφη ὡσεὶ πῦρ.
 [As for] the earth, out of it shall come bread:
under it has been turned up as it were fire.
 As for the earth, out of it comes bread;
but underneath it is turned up as by fire.
אֶרֶץ מִמֶּנָּה יֵצֵא־לָחֶם וְתַחְתֶּיהָ נֶהְפַּךְ כְּמֹו־אֵשׁ׃ 5
6τόπος σαπφείρου οἱ λίθοι αὐτῆς,
καὶ χῶμα, χρυσίον αὐτῷ.
 Her stones are the place of the sapphire:
and [her] dust [supplies] man with gold.
 Its stones are the place of sapphires,
and it has dust of gold.
מְקֹום־סַפִּיר אֲבָנֶיהָ וְעַפְרֹת זָהָב לֹו׃ 6
7τρίβος, οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτὴν πετεινόν,
καὶ οὐ παρέβλεψεν αὐτὴν ὀφθαλμὸς γυπός·
 [There is] a path, the fowl has not known it,
neither has the eye of the vulture seen it:
 "That path no bird of prey knows,
and the falcon's eye has not seen it.
נָתִיב לֹא־יְדָעֹו עָיִט וְלֹא שְׁזָפַתּוּ עֵין אַיָּה׃ 7
8οὐκ ἐπάτησαν αὐτὴν υἱοὶ ἀλαζόνων,
οὐ παρῆλθεν ἐπ' αὐτῆς λέων.
 neither have the sons of the proud trodden it,
a lion has not passed upon it.
 The proud beasts have not trodden it;
the lion has not passed over it.
לֹא־הִדְרִיכֻהוּ בְנֵי־שָׁחַץ לֹא־עָדָה עָלָיו שָׁחַל׃ 8
9ἐν ἀκροτόμῳ ἐξέτεινεν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ,
κατέστρεψεν δὲ ἐκ ῥιζῶν ὄρη·
 He has stretched forth his hand on the sharp [rock],
and turned up mountains by the roots:
 "Man puts his hand to the flinty rock,
and overturns mountains by the roots.
בַּחַלָּמִישׁ שָׁלַח יָדֹו הָפַךְ מִשֹּׁרֶשׁ הָרִים׃ 9
10δίνας δὲ ποταμῶν ἔρρηξεν,
πᾶν δὲ ἔντιμον εἶδέν μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός·
 and he has interrupted the whirlpools of rivers,
and mine eye has seen every precious thing.
 He cuts out channels in the rocks,
and his eye sees every precious thing.
בַּצּוּרֹות יְאֹרִים בִּקֵּעַ וְכָל־יְקָר רָאֲתָה עֵינֹו׃ 10
11βάθη δὲ ποταμῶν ἀνεκάλυψεν,
ἔδειξεν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ δύναμιν εἰς φῶς.
 And he has laid bare the depths of rivers,
and has brought his power to light.
 He binds up the streams so that they do not trickle,
and the thing that is hid he brings forth to light.
מִבְּכִי נְהָרֹות חִבֵּשׁ וְתַעֲלֻמָהּ יֹצִא אֹור׃ ף 11
12ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη;
ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶν τῆς ἐπιστήμης;
 But whence has wisdom been discovered?
and what is the place of knowledge?
 "But where shall wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
וְהַחָכְמָה מֵאַיִן תִּמָּצֵא וְאֵי זֶה מְקֹום בִּינָה׃ 12
13οὐκ οἶδεν βροτὸς ὁδὸν αὐτῆς,
οὐδὲ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
 A mortal has not known its way,
neither indeed has it been discovered among men.
 Man does not know the way to it,
and it is not found in the land of the living.
לֹא־יָדַע אֱנֹושׁ עֶרְכָּהּ וְלֹא תִמָּצֵא בְּאֶרֶץ הַחַיִּים׃ 13
14ἄβυσσος εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἐμοί·
καὶ θάλασσα εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔστιν μετ' ἐμοῦ.
 The depth said, It is not in me:
and the sea said, It is not with me.
 The deep says, 'It is not in me,'
and the sea says, 'It is not with me.'
תְּהֹום אָמַר לֹא בִי־הִיא וְיָם אָמַר אֵין עִמָּדִי׃ 14

καὶ οὐ σταθήσεται ἀργύριον ἀντάλλαγμα αὐτῆς·

ἐν ὄνυχι τιμίῳ καὶ σαπφείρῳ·

with the precious onyx and sapphire.

in precious onyx or sapphire.
לֹא־תְסֻלֶּה בְּכֶתֶם אֹופִיר בְּשֹׁהַם יָקָר וְסַפִּיר׃ 16
17οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ χρυσίον καὶ ὕαλος,
καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα αὐτῆς σκεύη χρυσᾶ·

neither shall vessels of gold be its exchange.

nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
לֹא־יַעַרְכֶנָּה זָהָב וּזְכֹוכִית וּתְמוּרָתָהּ כְּלִי־פָז׃ 17
18μετέωρα καὶ γαβις οὐ μνησθήσεται,
καὶ ἕλκυσον σοφίαν ὑπὲρ τὰ ἐσώτατα·

19οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ τοπάζιον Αἰθιοπίας,
χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται.

20ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη;
ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶν τῆς συνέσεως;
 Whence then is wisdom found?
and of what kind is the place of understanding?
 "Whence then comes wisdom?
And where is the place of understanding?
וְהַחָכְמָה מֵאַיִן תָּבֹוא וְאֵי זֶה מְקֹום בִּינָה׃ 20

καὶ ἀπὸ πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐκρύβη·

and has been hidden from the birds of the sky.

and concealed from the birds of the air.

Ἀκηκόαμεν δὲ αὐτῆς τὸ κλέος.

αὐτὸς δὲ οἶδεν τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς·

and he knows the place of it.

εἰδὼς τὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα, ἃ ἐποίησεν,

knowing the things in the earth:
 For he looks to the ends of the earth,
and sees everything under the heavens.

 all that he has made;
the weight of the winds,
the measures of the water.

and meted out the waters by measure;
לַעֲשֹׂות לָרוּחַ מִשְׁקָל וּמַיִם תִּכֵּן בְּמִדָּה׃ 25
26ὅτε ἐποίησεν οὕτως, ὑετὸν ἠρίθμησεν·
καὶ ὁδὸν ἐν τινάγματι φωνάς·

and made a way for the pealing of the thunder.

and a way for the lightning of the thunder;

ἑτοιμάσας ἐξιχνίασεν.

τὸ δὲ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐστιν ἐπιστήμη.
 And he said to man, Behold, godliness is wisdom:
and to abstain from evil is understanding.

'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
and to depart from evil is understanding.'"		וַיֹּאמֶר לָאָדָם הֵן יִרְאַת אֲדֹנָי הִיא חָכְמָה וְסוּר מֵרָע בִּינָה׃ ס 28
